This movie ruined a 15-year friendship for me.
Anyone remember when /tv/ wasn't plebshit and loved terry
>>63599160
The only good Malick movies are TTRL and Badlands
>>63599160
I still like his older movies. Just because one director made several good/great movies doesn't mean everything is a masterpiece.
>>63599020
This is the funniest shit ever!!!
>>63599160
/tv/ has never loved Terry. Reddit, however, has an entire subreddit devoted to him, so maybe that's more your style.
>>63599173
But the tree of life is his magnum opus, the best he's ever done and the best you could hope movies could be
>>63599020

>>63599228

No. I like plot.
>>63599173
Even TTRL was shit. There is no excuse in filming an actor and then cutting him out entirely. That's merely indicative of shit-tier pre-production efforts.
>>63599245
There's plenty of plot, but you seem to have missed it

...didn't the kid steal his mother's panties or lingerie or nightgown or something?
>>63599553
To throw it into the river for reasons unknown
>>63599431
If Terr Bear didn't want the audience projecting a plot, he should have provided his own.
All you'll do is say what the film ISN'T. Never will you make a positive claim about what it IS.
Reddit movie by reddit director. Pass.
>>63599575
He threw it in the river after he masturbated into it.
>>63599553
It was her nightgown. And then there was a sort of silent confrontation scene.
I want Chastain to bathe me. She's got that ugly/hot depending on the angle thing that's just sublime.

Are you people retarded or just fucking sick?
He never stole his mothers undies and he never mastrubated into it.
He snuck into his neighbors house, the same neighbor which he was eyeing the previous scenes. He discovered his sexuality and felt guilty about it, it had nothing to do with his fucking mom or mastrubation

Not even gonna dignify you with an answer.
You completely misinterpreted a scene and thought the entire movie revolved around it, while projecting your sick shit onto the movie.
The neighbor was set up in several scenes before and it was obviously not his house he was quietly sneaking into,but the neighbors which was shown before several times

>>63600089
You're correct about it being the neighbour's house. But nonetheless the film certainly presented a story of sexual discovery.
I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that the boy's developing sexuality is tied into his relationship with his mother. It doesn't have to be sick.
In fact, your absolute dismissal of an oedipal interpretation suggests that you're projecting this 'sick shit' as much as the next person.
Pairing a son and his mother in a story of sexual awakening repulses you because your ding-dong feels confused by it.
>>63600191
No there isn't.
>>63600315
>We have daily Malick threads now

...but I'm the one who said that. Why would I try to prove myself wrong?
Meanwhile, you got Nolan being compared to Malick.
Do you like Nolan too, anon?

>>63600395
>He should have to work harder for such an education.
what?
>>63599576
There are a lot of things that you could claim tree of life is, and your incest fantasy is not one of them.
>>63600398
Yes. So why would I want to prove myself wrong?
>>63600521
that just confirms his point, dumb dumb.
>you won't say what it is, only what it isn't
Enjoy the Star Wars crowd, /tv/
>>63600537
I said "prove ME wrong", not prove yourself wrong. As in prove me wrong that we don't have daily Malick threads now or that he wasn't loved by this board since 2013.
>>63600326
Because there's nothing in the scenes, the authors intent or his philosophy to suggest that
It was just a very short segment of the movie, maybe it took five minutes along with the lady neighbor scenes and you thought that was the plot of the movie
see>>63600521
It's not incest, it's Love.
>>63600521
Reducing an oedipus complex to an incest fantasy is dumb.
Wanting to fuck his mother, and the basic psychological structure of desire being connected to his mother should not be conflated.
Here's what you wrote:
>>63600315
You quoted me, and then said "prove me wrong".
>As in prove me wrong that we don't have daily Malick threads
When did you say that?
>>63600589
but the scene when he rubs her feet?
>>63600575
Fucking hell, really?
The film constantly places the son and mother in union in a way that suggests the boy's relationship to his mother is implicated in the way he sees everything else.
If you need a more hamfistedly obvious scene, what about when he pushes his father away and shouts something to the effect that "she only loves me!"
I'm not saying this is what the whole film is about, but it's a central idea.

You're right, in hindsight I should have taken your autism into consideration where you cannot comprehend implication.
>>63600575
Also, I think you're mistaking a plausible Freudian interpretation of the film for the idea that Malick sat down and read The Interpretation of Dreams and then decided to make a film about it.
I am suggesting the former, not the later.
>>63600775
>Oedpis complex
Correct. It's spelled "Oedipus".
>>63600788
So in other words, you never said that.

>>63600957
>>63600969
Where did I say anything about edges or tears?
>>63601001
B R A V O T E R R Y
>>63600950
good point, let's follow up on that.
Is it not also possible that sexuality is connected to the non-incestuous love between a son and his mother?
We have to get a grip on what Freud was actually saying to understand this. Having a conscious, mentally represented desire to fuck our mother is not what he's getting at with the Oedipus complex.
It's a non-representational, unconscious structural aspect of how desire functions generally. As we grow we make certain distinctions as to how to desire in different relationships, but this process is messy and essentially perverse.
This does not mean we're all incestuous freaks. That's an over-interpretation of Freud.
>>63601095
Authority and rebellion against it/ wanting to take the father's place are also as equally important in the theory as desire for sexually gratifying and obtaining mother's approval.
>>63601022
those edgy tears...
>>63601175
Exactly! Thanks.
>>63601127
That's true. I'm no expert. Thanks for adding something.
Equally important should mean that they are inseparable features of the same process. I think what you say strengthens my interpretation.
I already mentioned the fight against his father's authority
see:
>>63600714
>>63601263
Absolutely. I should have emphasized that I am not that other anon and I agree with you.
LACRIMOOSSAAAA

Your interpretation is shit terry would kick your ass if you suggested he makes movies about incest.
Just fuck off and kill yourself, stop watching terry movies you're soiling his name

It's a paradox, like "soiling a pile of shit", it can't be done.
>>63601411
It's not bait.
Fuck your interpretation, shove it up your ass.
Again you completely misunderstood the movie
>>63601458
It's a shit movie, so nobody cares about its interpretation.
You wouldn't interpret a dump you took 10 mins ago, would youi?
>>63601385
It's a rare occasion, like sunlight breaking through a winter sky in northern Idaho.
Cheers!
>>63599804
there wouldn't be so many Malick maymay pictures if /tv/ didn't love him like they love TDR.
>>63601458
Go ahead, enlighten me. What's the correct interpretation?
You don't even understand what the fucking word 'interpretation' means. You're a lazy, aggro tard. The Oedipus complex is a useful tool for interpreting many things. As I already said, I don't think Terry sat down and wrote a sceenplay based an his reading of Freud.
For fucksake, the Oedipus complex itself makes use of an ancient myth in order to structure Freud's own interpretative developments.
You seriously need to prove that you're not an idiot by making a claim in your next post.
>>63601458
Can this bait get cheaper? Only in bulk.
The only thing that wasn't great about this film was the sound mixing. I had problems hearing the dialogue at times, especially when it was whispered
>>63601624
Oh so like this guy. Got it.
>>63601627
He won't provide one. He is just a troll.

>>63599576
>>63601627
Oedipus complex is not a real thing.
Freud is a fraud and a sick fuck and so are you.All this came from because you werent paying attention and thought he was sniffing his mothers underwear in a sequence of scenes that went on for five minutes and could have been easily cut from the movie. This is what you thought was the plot of the movie and now you're trying to get out of it or somethin
You fucking suck, please stop "interpreting" movies are read about the author, what his philosophies are and why he's making movies,what this movie means
>>63601675
/tv/ wants to get BLACKED, which is why they mention BLACKED every time they see him.
They just don't admit it because they want to be "cool" like /pol/.
>>63601701
>Oedipus complex is not a real thing.
While there are criticisms and revisions of it, it most certainly is a real thing.
Unless you have some sort of evidence proving otherwise...?
>>63601724
K so they want to get blacked and they love Terr Bear Malick.
I see a trend.
>>63601699
I think he's actually just a retard.
see:
>>63601701
>>63601768
Exactly, notice how nowhere does he make any positive claim about what he thinks the film is. All he can do is say what it isn't. This is typical for youth of today cutting their teeth on ideas, as per the essay "On Bullshit".
>>6360176
you're the one who misunderstood a little scene and claimed the entire movie revolves around it and it's a central plot
Seriosly, stop "interpreting" and making an ass out of yourself, fucking pseudo intellectuals s m h. You are not intellegent or deep ok?
Fuck off
I think Malick peaked with The New World. And when i say peaked i mean found the perfect balance between meandering and actual plot.
Badlands is formulaic. Days of Heaven overrated. Thin Red Line crumbles under its starpower.

>>63601701
Holy fuck, where do I start with this. Did you even read the thread? You post sincere, but bait-tier responses. Anons are literally unsure whether to take you seriously or not. You don't possess the capacity to discuss views, so I'll just breakdown the things you just got plain wrong.
>All this came from because you werent paying attention and thought he was sniffing his mothers underwear
the first thing I said was that it was the neighbour's house/nightgown. I think you're mixing up the point at which I started commenting with earlier comments from another anon.
>This is what you thought was the plot of the movie and now you're trying to get out of it or somethin[g]
I've already stated the film is about many things, and that my interpretation seems to be a central theme to me. This only means that it's something I felt throughout my viewing of most of the film. It would do to note that I felt this way well before the nightgown scene.
>please stop "interpreting" movies are read about the author, what his philosophies are and why he's making movies,what this movie means
Sadly this only aggravates my tendency to try and interpret things. Although i can't make much of this fucking garbage sentence. What the fuck are you trying to say?
>>63601902
Take an ESL class.
Obviously the kid wanted to bang his mom, who wouldn't?
But most of his anger cam from confusing his dad and god.
>>63601806
It's not a hard to see what he was trying to do,but his editing and inner monologue makes the movie confusing. It doesn't take pseudo intelectuals and other bullshit
The priest at the church gave a sermon about the book of Job, so that's what the entire creation of the world and the mother asking god why her son died.
This along with the opening monologue about the way of nature and the way of grace, the main character loved in the way of nature,he was selfish , his mother and brother loved in the way of nature.
>Mother, father you always you wrestle inside of me
He was trying also to be more selfless like his mother. He hated his father like every teenager hates their parents, he saw hypocrisy and weakness in him ,not because he was trying to fuck his mom.
At the end of the movie we see the mother coming to peace with her sons death and the main character finding god again as he remembers his childhood and dead brother.

Mixing different chemicals under a microscope.
>all these retarded interpretations
This movie is about the religious experience.
The sole thing Malick wanted to share was not Grace Vs. Nature, some retarded Oedipus theory or even anything about metaphysics.
This is why the movie is told in the format of a prayer. This movie mimics god's role in prayer.
This movie doesn't give you answers, it doesn't raise any more questions by the end, what it does is it washes away your questions.
God does not answer to you, he does not explain anything. As people ask question their scopes widen, the loss of aloved one becomes a question about good and evil in the universe.
This mimics the Jobs setup in the beginning.
After feeling immense pressure from exploring the fabric of reality they then close themselves in and look inside themselves.
There are several scenes with Jack talking in prayer but not to god, to himself. Especially haunting is when he thinks about killing his father.
Then, after squeezing everything out of him, Jack begins to sink. The scene of Penn in the high rise building do this perfectly. He is not sinking underground, but he is feeling the sinking pressure of going up, like in an elevator.
All his doubts are washed away, he begins to accept everything. He didn't need answers from God, he needed the grace to move on.
If this movie was about teaching any philosophy it wouldn't have been shot and edited so empirically.
This movie is about the experience with the theories being backdrop.
